'When government raises more money
from its people than It needs, it's a poor
government. How do existing parties
stand to-day? Mr.. Carlisle says one thing,
Mr.. Randall another. Democrats of
Georgia want one thing, of Massachu-
sets another. Can you tell me how a
license Democrat of this State can pull in
the harness with a Prohibition one of
Georgia? Can you tell me how Pro-
bibition Republican of Iowa can stand
cheek by jowl with rum one OF Illinois,
who demands that no laws shall be made
in regard to Sunday selling? The plat
forms OF the parties read both ways. II
